USAC driver Shane Hmiel was airlifted to Indianapolis' Methodist Hospital after a wreck Saturday night at the USAC race in Terre Haute.
He was banned for life from NASCAR for drug abuse in 2006 and has become a rising star on the open-wheel racing circuit since cleaning up.
Hmiel lost control of his Silver Crown Series car on a qualifying run, flipping his car and landing on the concrete wall.
The car's protective roll cage was torn off in the accident, and Hmiel suffered head, neck and back injuries.
Shane has recently underwent surgery to repair his neck. He was last listed in critical condition after surgery. He was gaining feeling back in his arms as of Sunday night.
According to Shane’s mother and family he is slowly improving.
Shane’s family has created a facebook page to update fans on his condition.
